QUOTABLES: “You can't really allow other people's ideas or directions to really infiltrate what it is that you're meant to show up and share on social media." — Julie  "People will always be able to feel the energy if you're doing something that you love. Enthusiasm leads to sales, enthusiasm leads to connection. Enthusiasm leads to building." — Julie “If you're gatekeeping and saving all of your valuable content behind a paywall, you're not going to build the know, like and trust that is vital to someone buying from you in the first place." — Julie “It's not just showing up to show up, it's showing up with valuable, engaging content that your ideal audience would want. Because that consistency is what helps you build the know, like and trust that you need to further, positively manipulate the algorithm to actually engage with the people that are following you." — Julie RESOURCES: [FREE] Are you a content creator ready to take your brand collaborations to new heights?
